Di: You don't just
slip into someone's skin like an old pair of blue jeans. Maybe you should cut
the caffeine, take a vacation --

David: I stayed up
most of the night trying to figure out how to make this happen.

Di: You know, hold
on, because I kind of like who I am.

David: Really? Well,
I thought you're the woman on top of some rich jerk's hit list.

Di: Identity theft is
a big no-no, even if the identity is off a gravestone. And I'm not -- I'm not
really ready to go back to prison just yet.

[Pounding on door]

Tad: Hayward, open
the door!

Zach: Are you all
right?

Kendall: Why wouldn't
I be all right?

Zach: Not much of a
view.

Kendall: The light is
a nice change.

Zach: You know, don't
you? You know Ethan lied to you about me.

Ethan: Get away from
her.

Greenlee: Ryan tried
so hard. He argued. He debated. He even pretended that he could hear Braden,
too. But that was after Jonathan had admitted that he killed Braden and Edmund.
I guess he figured there was no way out. Jonathan went over to Braden and he
unzipped his jacket, and there was the bomb. Jonathan had strapped a bomb to his
own brother's corpse. Jonathan had this remote control and he had his finger on
the button, and he would have detonated that bomb if Ryan hadn't shot him. And
the only reason that he fired was to save the rest of us. We got out of the cave
and Ryan went back in to help Jonathan, and the bomb went off.

Derek: Well, thank
you, Greenlee, for going through this again. But until Ryan's ready to talk --

Greenlee: I
understand. I'll help any way I can.

Derek: Great. Thanks.

Greenlee: Ryan's
barely said a word.

Tad: Your car's in
the driveway, David! I know you're in there!

David: Just go hide.
Hide.

Tad: Open the door!

David: Come on, go!

Di: Maybe I should
stick around, nip this whole wacko impersonation thing in the bud.

Tad: Hayward!

[Pounding on door]

David: For now,
please just go inside and keep your mouth shut until I get rid of Tad. It won't
be long.

Tad: Open the door or
I'm going to kick it in!

Di: Do you always
serve up this much entertainment before breakfast?

David: What, you
didn't bring a sledgehammer?

Tad: I swear, if I
had one, I'd bury it right between your beady little eyes.

David: Back off!

Tad: Back off? Why
should I? J.R. just told me all about it. You sold out Liza and Colby.

Anita: Ok. Thanks,
Brooke.

Maria: He's not with
any of his friends. He's not -- I've made Mama frantic.

Maria: Oh, don't even
start! You know, I did everything but call the police.

Sam: No, don't act
like you care.

Anita: Sam, please
don't talk to your mother like that.

Sam: I don't want to
talk to her at all.

Maria: You know
better than this. You don't stay out all night.

Sam: Well, I think I
can do what I want. I'm old enough.

Maria: No, you
cannot, because you're not old enough, and you most certainly are not old enough
to be driving the car. I think the police might have something say about that,
so if you think about doing it again, that is who I will call. And you know I
was going to be freaked out! Where were you?

Sam: I decided to
check out your old lover. Yeah, I've been hanging out with Zach Slater.

Ethan: She doesn't
need this. Do you have any idea what Kendallís been through?

Zach: Tad and Aidan
believe that Jonathan killed Edmund.

Ethan: I really don't
care. Why don't you get out.

Zach: Jonathan or
Braden.

Ethan: See, I'm not
the only witness anymore, Zach. The DA found somebody else who's going to put
you away.

Zach: Nice trick.

Ethan: It's not a
trick. I'm not going to let you use Ryan's tragedy to weasel out of what you
did. They've got you cold.

Zach: We'll see.

Ethan: I'm sorry you
had to hear all that, especially after all you've been through. How you holding
up? Kendall, what is it?

Tad: What the hell is
wrong with you? Did you honestly think I was going to let you get away with it
after they dragged Colby back to Pine Valley? Because you felt like playing God
all over again, that I was going to let you get away with it?

David: Your moral
outrage is laughable! Not only did you keep J.R.ís son away from him, you let
him think his boy was dead! And let us not forget, you were the first one to
play God with Colby!

Tad: You're
absolutely right, David. Your grandchild is much better off with the Chandlers.

David: I'm not
finished!

Tad: I was trying to
protect Colbyís happiness, and Lizaís, which obviously you don't give a damn
about! And by the way, Jamie spelled out all about how you were willing to
weasel it -- their location -- out of your own daughter.

David: Jamie knows I
didn't give it to Adam! That's J.R.ís story. And why would J.R. lie to you? I
mean, you guys are so tight, right? And lie about me? Hey, what would J.R. ever
have against me?

Tad: All I'm going to
say is I cannot humanly believe that you were low enough, that you were sadistic
enough to hand that sweet little girl over to Adam Chandler.

David: Oh, man,
you've been punked, Tad! This is between you and J.R. Look, don't drag me into
your family drama, ok? Why don't you take it up with him.

Greenlee: She's in
love with your son. He screwed up big and it's all your fault, and now Kendallís
going to have to pay. No wonder you and Ethan hate each other. You're so much
alike.

Jonathan's ghost:
Hey, Ryan. Nice blast, huh? Better than any Fourth of July I can remember. Not
exactly what I planned, though. Where do we go from here? Where do you go? So,
I'm dead. How are you? It's a joke, sort of. But I guess you didn't inherit
Dad's sense of humor. Dad. All those times that he said he was going to kill me,
and he never followed through. But you -- you finally would have made Dad proud,
Ryan. You did a real good job.

Ethan: Let me take
you home. Come on, you've been here all night. Look, you're not going to be
deserting Greenlee, ok? We can stop by on the way out and talk with her.

Kendall: You told
Zach there was another witness.

Ethan: That's right,
there is.

Kendall: Lily
Montgomery?

Ethan: No, Lily can't
help us. Somebody else came forward.

Kendall: But there
was no one else in the stables.

Ethan: It's not an
eyewitness. This is somebody who was in a cell across from Zach.

Kendall: A criminal?

Ethan: Yeah. I mean,
from what I understand, him and Zach spoke, and in one of those conversations
Zach admitted that he killed Edmund.

Kendall: So you
really think they're going to take a criminal's word?

Ethan: Well, from
what I understand, Zach told him things that only the murderer would know.

Kendall: Yeah, but
there was so much written in the papers.

Ethan: But not this
information. Look, the important thing is Zachís not going to get away with what
he's done. I -- I could have lost you. I can't imagine my life without you.
Without you, I'm lost. If I could get my hands on Jonathan Lavery -- you know
what? You're here and you're real, and you're all right and we're together.
Everything I want, everything I need is right here in you. I -- I was so worried
about you.

Kendall: But how? I
mean, you didn't even know that Jonathan locked us up in the mineshaft.

Ethan: Your mother
told me that you were reconsidering us, that you were thinking about leaving me.
But you're here and I'm holding you. That's all that matters right now.

Kendall: You love me
very much, don't you?

Ethan: Why do you
think I've been telling you that since I found you?

Kendall: Then how
could you -- how could you ever think that I would just walk away?

Kendall: You -- you
wait here. I want to go by myself. I'll make it quick.

Ethan: I love you
very, very much, Miss Hart.

Jack: Thanks, Ashley.
Boy, you're not very smart, are you?

Zach: How's Lily?

Jack: "How's Lily?"
Well, considering she was caged by a lunatic, terrorized, threatened, and just
about blown to pieces, I guess she's surviving. But now let's get to the
question you really want answered -- are you off the hook? Seeing as Jonathan
confessed in front of Greenlee and Kendall and Lily, I say yeah. The charges
against you will probably be dropped, but you're never, ever going to get away
with what you did to my family, the way you've hurt my girls. I'm never going to
forget that.

Jonathan: I'm shot,
crushed under a mountain of rocks, and by the end of the week you'll be partying
and bedding your hot little wife, not a care in the world. Damn. You are one
lucky guy. I'm cold, Ryan. I'm so cold.

Kendall: Greenlee,
hey, hey. Any change?

Greenlee: Nothing.

Kendall: Will you be
ok if I go for a while?

Greenlee: Yeah, but
are you sure you're ok to go?

Kendall: Yeah, I'm
fine, I'm fine -- physically, at least.

Greenlee: You
shouldn't be alone.

Kendall: I won't be.
I'm -- I'm going to go home with Ethan.

Greenlee: Just you
and Ethan? Is that smart?

Kendall: He loves me
and he wants to take care of me.

Greenlee: Well, sure,
but -- if you need me, you'll call me?

Kendall: I'll be back
later, I promise.

Greenlee: Isn't there
something about being in the trenches together that makes strange bedfellows?

Kendall: You're wrong
again, as usual. That's politics.

Greenlee: Whatever. I
got your back.

Kendall: Right back
at you.

Greenlee: Ryan.
You're awake. How are you? What is it? What's wrong? Oh, it's Jonathan. I know.
It'll get better. I promise.

Babe: Tad --

Tad: What is it?
What's wrong with Krystal?

Babe: I don't know. I
went -- I went to visit her, and then they wouldn't let me. They said she's in
the infirmary.

David: Why? What
happened?

Tad: Is she all
right?

Babe: I don't know.
They wouldn't even tell me. They just said that she's in there and -- have
either one of you heard from her? Has she called?

David: No, no. I
haven't heard a thing.

Tad: Me neither.

Babe: So it could be
anything -- an accident, anything.

David: Babe, Krystal
probably has the flu or something.

Tad: Yeah, she could
be fine.

Babe: Or a bad case
of Adam Chandler.

Tad: Yeah. God knows
there's a lot of that going around.

Babe: Tad, ok, Adam
-- he came to me and he tried to cut a deal. And he said if Iíd squeal and say
where Liza and Colby are, that he would somehow find a way to get Mama out of
jail.

Tad: Well, I got to
tell you, Adam's not the only one who's been a busy boy.

Babe: No, but I told
him to stuff it. But the thing is, what if he went after Mama, found someone to,
like, beat her up or something? He was talking about how dangerous jail can be.

Tad: I wouldn't put
it past him for a minute. Trust me, if your mother is in the infirmary, it's not
because of Adam -- at least not this time.

Babe: No, you cannot
rule that out. He could have thought that maybe Mama knows where Colby is and he
could have tried to get it out of her.

Tad: You don't
understand. Adam doesn't have to threaten anybody to figure it out. Adam already
knows full well where Colby and Liza are.

Babe: I knew it. I
knew that you did it. All these lies and denying? How could you tell him?

Ethan: All we had
were leftovers and eggs -- threw everything into one big omelet, everything we
had in the kitchen.

Kendall: Everything
but the kitchen sink.

Ethan: You know what?
This time I will throw in a kitchen sink and I will make it out of caviar or
rich, dark chocolate. You know what? I just want to spoil you. I just want to
show you how special you are. I just want to show you how -- how important you
are to me. Ok?

Greenlee: So many
people owe you, Ryan -- everyone who cares about Lily and Kendall and me. You
saved us. You're a hero. If you hadn't -- Jonathan forced you to do what you
did. He was about to kill all of us. You'd done everything you could to talk him
out of it. You didn't have a choice. Maybe that doesn't make you feel any
better, but it's the truth. I'm so grateful that you had the courage to save us.
There's still a recovery effort back at the mine. They're trying to find Braden
and Jonathan, only they don't know if they can get the equipment they need that
far back into the mine. And even if they manage, they're not sure how much --
they're not sure it'll work. We can still have the service, though -- the
memorial service, and we can put markers in the cemetery. I know how much you
loved your brothers, and you probably still do. But you did the right thing. I'm
sorry, Ryan. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. Would you share it with me? Say something
to me. I just want to share everything. Ryan, I want to shoulder some of it, you
know? Please. I'm begging you, let me help you, let me in. When Leo died,
everyone reached out to me. They said it would be ok, that in time it would hurt
less. And they were right, but it took so long. It took you. You gave my life
back to me, and that's what I want to do for you. Ryan, I need you to know that
even if I don't say the right thing to make it hurt less, I'm here. I'll always
be here.

Ethan: Now, back to
the romantic properties of eggs benedict. You know, the first time that we had
eggs benedict here -- that day -- I knew I was in love with you. Then again, I'd
been falling for you from the day we met. You know, as soon as you feel up to
it, I think we should take a trip somewhere. I think you'd love the south of
France.

Kendall: Is it really
all that special?

Ethan: Oh, my God,
it's like nowhere else in the world. It's -- there's a simplicity to its beauty.
You know, you see these incredible fields of flowers, and the colors are just so
incredibly rich and vibrant. You know, it's no wonder that it stirs the souls of
artists and lovers.

Kendall: What about
Cambias Industries?

Ethan: Don't worry
about Cambias Industries. Look, you need a break, ok? You know, I know this
portrait artist in Aix-en-Provence. His name is Henri Leveau. He will paint you
the most beautiful portrait. We can hang it right above the desk in my office,
and that way I'll never feel far away from you. We can get you a new wardrobe.
We can get you a whole new wardrobe, something really spectacular to wear for
the portrait. Look, Kendall, I would have given everything I have to spare you
what you've been through. But we will get through this, ok? I swear we will. I
promise you, I will help you forget what's happened.

Kendall: I don't
think I can ever forget.

Anita: If it wasn't
Zach, who? I mean, who had a motive?

Maria: Well, Edmund
was closing in on the person who shot Ryan Lavery, so they think it was Ryan's
brother Jonathan.

Anita: Jonathan
Lavery murdered Edmund?

Maria: That's the --
that's the theory.

Sam: But in the jail,
Slater put on this whole act to make me think that he killed Dad. Why would some
jerk do that if he was innocent?

Maria: Honey, I don't
know.

Sam: Well, you know
him better than anybody. You slept with him.

Anita: Come on, now,
Sam, that's not going to help.

Sam: He said Dad was
decent and righteous and even some sort of hero. Slater took it all on himself.
He was the bad guy, nobody else, not even you. Slater said that he tricked you
-- oh, that must have been another lie.

Maria: You know what?
I think now -- maybe someday we'll understand, but right now we should all just
rest.

Sam: Your lover is in
the clear. He's free, and you want to go take a nap? Oh, or do you just want to
get rid of me so you can call him? You guys can hook up, maybe have a party?

Maria: No, I don't. I
really loved your father. I am so far from partying.

Anita: Ok, Sam really
didn't mean any of that. Did you, Sam?

Maria: Look, I'm -- I
am just glad that -- that maybe it was Jonathan Lavery because it'll make things
a little bit easier.

Sam: Because your
lover didn't kill Dad? Yeah, maybe Zach Slater gets out of a trial, but to me
you're both as guilty as ever.

Jack: You know, if it
was up to me, Iíd see that you were indicted on obstruction of justice charges.

Zach: If I thought
that what I did to your family --

Jack: Oh, come on,
you haven't thought of anyone but yourself, and whatever self-indulging game you
were playing out with Ethan. You see, the trouble is a lot of people got caught
up in your mess. Good people.

Zach: Lily, Kendall,
and Greenlee --

Jack: Oh, you think
that's as far as it goes? Oh, what about Ryan, huh? And his brothers? And Maria,
her children, the people that care about them? What you set off in this town,
Zach -- you tore through this town like a tornado. You see, we're all connected
here in one way or another, all of us except you. So why don't you go back to
Vegas or go to hell? Just know that if I see you anywhere near my family, what
I'm going to do to you is going to make any hit in the head with a shovel look
like a love tap.

Adam: I flew to
Portland, went to Grandview Avenue -- nothing. No Liza, no Colby -- nothing.

Babe: David, you are
such an -- you're an idiot!

Tad: No, he passed
"idiot" a long time ago.

David: Babe, I did
not tell Adam anything, and that's the truth.

Adam: You're not
going to wiggle out of this.

David: Look at this
place!

Tad: We all think
you're a pig. What's your point?

David: Do you
honestly believe that I trashed my own place? I told you J.R. broke in. I wrote
that number down. He must have broken in and stolen it!

Babe: Will you stop
it already? Listen to yourself! How many lies can you possibly tell? I have told
so many that it makes me sick.

David: Babe, I didn't
betray anyone. Isn't that what you want to hear?

Adam: You betrayed
me, Hayward.

David: Shut up!

Tad: I second the
motion. Serves you right for trying to steal yet another child from its mother.

J.R.: What? You're a
hypocrite. You helped her steal my son.

Adam: This is going
to cost you, Hayward. It's going to cost you big.

Tad: Oh, no, you
don't understand. This is one thing he didn't do. However you found that
address, it was the right one.

Adam: They weren't
there!

Tad: I got to Colby
and Liza just before you did.

Babe: Well, thank
goodness.

Tad: I think they
call this round three. They're in a brand-new place and they're brand-new
people, hopefully people you'll never find.

Adam: No, don't ever
say "never" to me, because I will find them.

Tad: If you do, it
won't be because Colbyís making unauthorized phone calls. That's game, set, and
match.

J.R.: I guess the
joke's on you, huh, Dad? Guess that's what you get for using my son as a
bargaining chip. He has no say-so in who sees little Adam or for how long.

Babe: Visitation is
still up to the courts.

J.R.: Nothing's going
to change unless I want it changed.

Tad: Why? How many
judges you think you can fit in your pocket?

J.R.: Enough to keep
Babe away till he's ready to go to college.

Babe: Oh, dream on.

J.R.: Well, that's
just part of the dream, Babe. Now, you know how they used to execute witches
back in the old days?

Tad: No. Let's ask
your father. He was probably involved.

J.R.: They used to
take this board, and they would pile on these rocks. They kept adding these
rocks until the board crushed and suffocated the witch. Shutting you out of my
son's life --

Babe: Our son.

J.R.: My son's life
was the first rock. Get ready.

David: You are such a
jerk, J.R.

Babe: So is Mama the
second rock?

J.R.: I didn't make
her plead guilty.

Babe: Who did you pay
to hurt her? She's in the infirmary.

Adam: I don't know
anything about that, and if I did, I wouldn't care.

Adam: And you and
your mother and Jamie -- you can kiss all your little childish dreams of
happiness good-bye.

Tad: Come on, Babe.
I'll drive you to the prison. One way or another, we're getting in to see your
mother.

David: Yeah, why
don't you guys go ahead. I'll meet up with you.

Babe: No, you won't.
I don't want you anywhere near me or my mama.

David: Babe --

Babe: No.

David: Will you calm
down? You'll see that --

Babe: David, forget
it, ok? It's over. I don't see you or hear from you, it's fine by me.

Di: Well, you sure
know how to throw a party.

Maria: This is not
very constructive, Sam, so why don't we just --

Sam: Am I the only
one who gets this? Zach Slater is like some toxic doom cloud who won't go away.

Anita: Ok, look, why
don't we just take a break, get some rest, and then we'll talk about this a
little bit later?

Sam: No, that means
never. You just want me to shut up.

Maria: You still
haven't told me where you were last night after you were with Zach and Tad and
Aidan.

Sam: Up on the
mountain, near the falls.

Maria: Just in the
woods by yourself?

Sam: There was an
explosion in the old mine. Guess who bit it.

Anita: Yeah, it was
Jonathan Lavery. I was there with the emergency team.

Sam: They couldn't do
anything to save him -- buried, crushed like a bug. I guess we'll never get the
facts about why he killed Dad. We'll never know.

Maria: All the more
reason to stick together, then, now.

Sam: You got to be
kidding me. It's a waste of time even talking to you. You don't listen. You
know, Dad took care of me and Maddie. Why don't you just run off with lover
Zach?

Ethan: Have I lost my
touch, mon amie?

Kendall: No, no, it
was -- it was delicious. It was perfect. I'm just not really hungry.

Ethan: Ok. I
understand. You'll -- you'll get your appetite back. You know, maybe -- ahem --
maybe it's better you have an empty stomach for what I want to tell you.

Kendall: Ethan, you
can tell me anything. You know that, don't you?

Ethan: You're
amazing. My life was a pretty sad, dreary mess when you came into it. You -- you
brought sunlight with you. And your love warms my heart every moment of every
day. I can't imagine a future without you. I don't want to. You're everything to
me. You're more important than my food or my air. You're my light. So I hope
that you will accept this and marry me. See, it's -- it's like sunbeams. It's
like you.

David: If you want to
leave, I'll understand. Hell, sometimes I wish I could walk away from my life.

Di: That is the most
messed-up group of people I ever saw. I never walked out in the middle of a
movie before in my life. I always have to stick around to see how the picture
ends.

David: Happily or
unhappily.

Di: You said you
figured out how to make this impostor bit work. How? How are you going to drop
me in the middle of all that?

Kendall: Ethan, it's
-- it's beautiful. It's stunning.

Ethan: No. That would
be you.

Kendall: Ethan,
you're -- you're the kind of man that I -- I only dreamed -- that I only dreamed
about but I thought I could never have.

Ethan: This isn't a
dream. It's real. And we are going to have the most perfect and wonderful life
together.

Kendall: I was wrong
about you. I can have you. But I don't want you, you lying son of a bitch.

Greenlee: The
nightmare is over because you ended it. Now we can start to heal. Remember what
you said to me when I was scared? You said that we could face anything as long
as we're together. Well, we're together now, and as soon as we're past this we
can head into our future, and we can have our baby.

Ryan: No.

>> On the next "All
My Children" --

Ethan: What we have,
Kendall -- it is precious, and I would do anything to protect it. It's all for
you.
